Summary/Abstract: In this article, we deal with the poetry of M. Divković, which was published in Nauk krstjanski (1616). Divković’s poetry is closely related to the Croatian mediaeval literary and linguistic heritage, because Divković adapted many texts from the earlier Croatian literature into the Bosnian enviroment: it is possible to fi nd exact or approximate sources. Divković’s sources of mediaeval texts originated from the South-Čakavian area (from Zadar to Split), which was literary less active than the North-Čakavian area in the Middle Age. The Cyrillic orthography in Divković’s poetry was heavily infl uenced by the Latin script, and the language of mediaeval Čakavian texts was adapted to the Štokavian literary language by Divković.
